I get really nervous when I see dogs in modern games, especially when they are companion characters. In most games I have a hard enough time keeping my human character alive, but I’m not wracked with guilt when I fail my human companions. When I fail a dog though, that’s much hard to take. However,… Continue reading
I love horror movies. I have since my dad let me watch George Romero’s 1968 Night of the Living Dead when I was about five or six; I woke up at 10 or 11 at night on a Friday and Dad was watching it. He let me cuddle up with him and I think I… Continue reading
I can’t say I have the experience to fully participate in a Commodore nostalgia fest, but I can appreciate a collection of art from classic games. Thanks to Kickstarter, Sam Dyer has released two great looking books celebrating the artistry of the Commodore 64 and Amiga. Commodore 64: a visual Commpendium – “A book that celebrates… Continue reading
We came across this pretty amazing SegaNet ad the other day. If you’ll remember in 2000 one of the more progressive features of Sega’s Dreamcast was that it supported online gaming. When you are done beating up on your friends locally and online, who else would you want to play against? Celebrities? Ok, I guess…. Continue reading
There will always be a lot to love about the art direction of BioShock Infinite. One of the smartest design choices was to give each vigor a distinct personality.

Mortal Kombat was released in arcades in 1992 before coming to consoles the following year. It’s impact at the time is probably just as large as its legacy that continues on into 2015 with the release of Mortal Kombat X. Mortal Kombat? MORTAL KOMBAT! Cole – I remember my friend had a Prodigy account and he printed… Continue reading
As the world’s go-to 7 year-old for pretty much everything, I had strong opinions about the Game Boy when it was released. Mainly that the Game Boy only plays baby games that weren’t cool enough to be on my “Intendo.” Or it could have been that I was jealous because the only Game Boy in my… Continue reading
I have found myself cooling on early access games so far this year. I would rather play through my backlog and catch the game’s full release. My thinking is if the game doesn’t fulfill on its promise, maybe it wasn’t worth playing in early access or ever. I know others love their early access games though. I’d… Continue reading
The nice dessert that comes along with the influx of quality indie game releases is that we are seeing more and more soundtracks released alongside of those games. I personally love video game music. I love it even more so when the music raises above any of my game experiences. I can’t pretend to be… Continue reading
You don’t mess around with Majora’s Mask so it seems fitting if one was to make a Majora’s Mask that you’d want to choose to create it in the most bad ass way possible. Since Majora’s Mask is wooden there’s really no better choice than to make one using chainsaws. Griffon Ramsey makes a lot… Continue reading

In 1989 Tecmo published the action platformer Ninja Gaiden on the NES. It went on to spawn two more sequels on the console. The series stars Ryu Hayabusa, dramatic cutscenes, and a ridiculous difficulty. Ninja Gaiden Trilogy on the NES = Cole – That’s really sad that dude’s dad had to die. – Shouldn’t Ryu’s dad have taken… Continue reading
